War for Empire: 1761 April 7, 2011

By 1761, all-out war had raged between the English and their former allies the Cherokee for more than a year. As blood continued to be shed along the colonial frontier, two massive British armies of regulars and provincials moved against the Cherokee’s homeland from both South Carolina and Virginia, causing destruction and starvation that would finally lead to a renewed peace. Join hundreds of soldiers, American Indians, and civilians from the 18th Century as we look at this crucial time in our colony’s history.
